William Twigg
This cutler was employed for 34 years by Joseph Rodgers & Sons. He died on 20 February 1841 (aged 71) in Eldon Street and was buried in St Peter’s churchyard. An obituarist wrote that: ‘He was a man of honest, sober integrity; his example endeared him to all that had the happiness of his acquaintance, and as a workman in the best branch of cutlery, his equal will scarcely ever be found, even to within a few weeks of his death’ (Sheffield Independent, 27 February 1841).
